Kelmore LevelMore Flex&Fibre Floor Leveller 20kg
Kelmore’s LevelMore Flex&Fibre is a flexible, fibre reinforced, rapid setting, levelling and smoothing compound which can be applied from 2mm to 50mm in a single application. Ensuring excellent workability, adhesion and moisture tolerance, it is suitable for use on a wide range of subfloors, including applications below damp proof membranes, on underfloor heating systems, and plywood overlays. Providing superb flowing capabilities and dimensional stability, this protein free product sets with an outstanding surface finish and can be walked on after 90 minutes. Resilient floor coverings can be fitted after 3 hours and porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone tiles can be fixed after 2 hours. Highlighting its true versatility, LevelMore Flex&Fibre is suitable for interior and exterior use and can also be installed as a wearing surface.

Coverage
Coverage will vary dependent on the texture of the background and the application thickness of the product. As a guide, a 20kg bag of LevelMore Flex&Fibre mixed with 5 litres of water will provide the following approximate coverage:
Application Thickness Approximate Coverage 2mm 6.45m2 3mm 4.3m2 5mm 2.58m2 10mm 1.29m2 20mm 0.64m2 50mm 0.25m2 Preparation
Backgrounds must be sufficiently dry and strong enough to carry the total weight being applied. All surfaces must be clean, sound and free from contaminants that could inhibit adhesion, such as dust, dirt, oil, grease, laitance, and curing agents. Timber bases must be adequately ventilated and able to carry the additional static and dynamic load without deflection.
Mixing
A 20kg bag of LevelMore Flex&Fibre must be mixed with 4.5 to 5.0 litres of clean, cold water. Within this range, the performance of the product is maintained whilst still offering the flexibility to adjust the water to obtain a desired consistency and flow. Do not exceed 5 litres of water per 20kg of LevelMore Flex&Fibre. Pour the measured water into a clean bucket. Gradually add the powder whilst mixing thoroughly with an electric paddle mixer until a smooth, lump-free consistency is achieved. The compound is ready for use immediately after mixing.
Application
LevelMore Flex&Fibre can be applied at a thickness of 2mm to 50mm in a single application. Pour the mixed compound onto the prepared floor before using a trowel or rake to regulate the thickness and guide the product into the desired areas. Whilst the product is still wet, the use of a *spiked roller can further enhance the surface finish by removing any trapped air.
*The use of a spiked roller is only recommended when the product has been applied at a thickness that will allow the roller to freely roll through the compound.
Application Thickness
Minimum - 2mm
Maximum - 50mm
When bulked out with sharp sand - 75mmWorking & Drying time
At 20°C
Working time - 20 minutes
Walk on - 90 minutes
Tile after - 2 hoursDrying times will vary dependent on the porosity of the background, ambient temperature and humidity. When tested to the industry standard temperature of 20°C, LevelMore Flex&Fibre can be walked on after 90 minutes. Resilient floor coverings can be fitted after 3 hours and porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone tiles can be fixed after 2 hours. Please be aware that higher temperatures and low humidity will shorten the drying time and lower temperatures and high humidity will extend the drying time.
Bulking Out
LevelMore Flex&Fibre can be applied at a thickness of 2mm to 50mm in a single application. Where depths from 50mm to 75mm are required, LevelMore Flex&Fibre must be mixed with sharp sand at a ratio of 2:1 by weight (2 parts LevelMore Flex&Fibre to 1 part sharp sand). When bulking out, a 20kg bag of LevelMore Flex&Fibre should be mixed as normal with 5 litres of clean, cold water. After mixing, add 10kg of sharp sand and re-mix. The product is ready for use when the sand has been thoroughly combined into the compound.
